FIEA Ventures

An Orlando Digital Media Incubator

Augmented Reality Sand Table

We know that some students don’t want to go work for a company, they want to start their own. So we created FIEA Ventures. FIEA Ventures is a state-of-the-art digital media workspace designed for encouraging start-up companies in a creative environment. The Orlando digital media incubator is available exclusively to FIEA alumni and is located at UCF’s Center For Emerging Media, in downtown Orlando.

The 5,000-square-foot space provides start-ups with office and meeting space, a 20-seat theater, mentorships, equipment, and access to technology and expertise. Tenants also have access to the building’s audio, motion capture and films studios, collectively called Studio 500.

Collaborative 20-Seat Theater Space

Companies and individuals are picked using a thorough application and pitch process where clients detail their concept, technology needs, potential staffing, market prospects and business plan. Once accepted, the company can stay in FIEA Ventures for up to two years.

Clients also get access to CEM’s faculty and staff, who provide help with development and access to industry partners. Some of the first clients to come into FIEA Ventures will be working on video games, animated film, simulation and mobile and web products.
